Writer Bill Palmroxh, in the Grants Pass Courier, mentioned the snapping of a KF victory string, the damage to the Pel's bid for District 6 honors and the formidable start by the Cavemen in league play. He continued: But more important the upset decision was a terrific morale booster for the Blue and White clad Cave Grid ders, giving them the big lift they needed. It also may serve to discourage a few boycotting townspeople from writing the Mel Ing ram aggregation off as hopeless losers in games to follow. Simply Rogue Some people, are trying to be a bit complicated. We've heard several references of late to the Little Rogue Val ley league in mention of the southern division of District A-2 in football. It's been of ficially and simply the Rogue league and still is so far as we know. Hoop Clinic Soon It's time to think of bas ketball already, especially if you are a referee or want to be one. An Oregon School Activities association bas ketball clinic will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 21. at Medford Senior High school. Time will be 7:30 p.m. The clinic will be con ducted by Edward J. Ryan, assistant secretary - treasur er of the CSAA. Rules will be interpreted and exam inations for certification will be available. USC Leads In Statistics Dept. San Francisco (UPD Power ful and undefeated USC leads the Big Five in five of the six major team statistical depart ments, according to confer ence figures released today. ' The Trojans lead the circuit in total offense with an aver age of 347.6 yards per game; total defense, 126.3 yards al lowed per game; rushing of fense, 246; rushing defense, 58; and passing defense, 68.3. Stanford tops the league in passing offense with an aver age of 197 yards per game. The Indians rank second in total offense with a 315.7 game average. . The undefeated Washington Huskies, who tackle USC in Seattle this Saturday, hold the runnerup positions in two of the three defensive categories. Allow 227 Yards The Huskies have allowed an average of only 227 yards per game in their first four tilts. They have yielded an average of 101.5 yards on the ground in those games which gives them a solid hold on second place in that. depart ment. Stanford holds the number two spot in passing defense, having given up an average of 113 yards per game. . USC and Washington each I lead in one minor statistical cago Cardinals. On the screen, Eddie Le Baron was pivoting around and tossing a pitchout to num ber 47. Number 47 steamed around end, then saw a sliver of daylight just outside the Cardinal tackle. He cut sharp ly back in and went 11 yards. If he had stayed wide, he would have been lucky to get two. "Look at the little so-and-so," chuckled head coach Mike Nixon. "He knows just when to make his move." Number 47 -Mike's "little so-and-so" was Richard Alwin James, one of the most under rated halfbacks in the Nation al Football league. He is only 5-iO and weighs 180-90 pounds muscle and 90 pounds heart. Leads in Three Games In Washington's first three games, James: -Scored all three touch' downs against the Cardinals in Chicago. -Was leading ground gainer against Pittsburgh and inter- ceDted Bobby Layne's last- ditch Dass that would have won the game for the Steelers. -Led in rushing yardage against the Cardinals again last Sunday and saved a pos sible Chicago touchdown by tackling fullback Mai Ham mack just as he broke into the open. , James is that rarity in pro football-equally adept on de fense as well as offense 'and not particularly caring which way he plays. "Just so long as I play, pe riod," James observes. 'I get a little tired if I have to go both ways but that's what they're paying me for." James is in his fourth year with the Redskins. Washing ton drafted him eighth in 1956 after he had starred for the University of Oregon. The first time he touched the ball in a pro game, he ran 83 yards on a kickoff return against Los Angeles. Because the Redskins have utilized him so much on de fense, James has never won the fame of more publicized backs. But Nixon wouldn't trade the little guy from Ore gon for any back in the league. ; ' Group department. The Trojans have returned 18 punts for 247 yards while the Huskies have intercepted 11 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Much scored upon Califor nia is the kickoff return lead er with 399 yards returned in 21 attempts. Stanford has the best team punting average, 41 yards per kick.

Grid Bowls Add 15 to New List New York - (UPD - College football teams will have a rec ord 15 NCAA-approved bowls from which to chose this year. Executive Director Walter Byers announced Monday that the NCAA extra events com mittee has approved five new post-season games-making the largest total ever certified since the committee started its program in 1951. There had been as many as 31 post season games before the NCAA enacted legislation in 1951. The five bowls certified for the first time are the Alumi num, Bluebonnet, Flower, Liberty and Santa bowls. The Citricado Bowl at Escondido, Calif., approved last year, will not be played in 1959. The NCAA list does not in clude such games as the Shrine, Blue-Gray, North- South and Senior bowls be cause they feature senior stars who have finished their var sity careers. The NCAA regulations pro vide that no member institu tion may participate in a post season game unless the game is certified: no institution play in more than one such game during any academic year, competing institutions be allocated not less than one- third of the total stadium seats, and an extra events committee of the NCAA shall determine whether given con tests meet the NCAA require ments.
